    Because it’s so hard to believe that some people’s digestive systems work differently. Gut microflora is notoriously undiverse in humans. Surely the more likely explanation is that the person you’re responding to managed to go their whole life without ever eating spicy food despite actively seeking it out. /s

    Maybe there’s a spice level at which I’d get bad shits, but I haven’t gotten so much as a tingle yet and I already have the highest tolerance than any white guy I know. You can be a spice snob and say “you haven’t met my guy Rajesh yet”, but almost no-one saying “spice gives me bad shits” has met Rajesh either so I don’t see the point.

      As I replied in another comment, do an “hot ones” evening going all the way up to 1m SHU and tell me your ass came out ok.
